"A NAMELESS CASE.

My case has been very curious one
for about thirteen years. At intervales
of about one week | would be attacked
with spells of severe and most excruciat-
ing pain, always commencing in the region
of my kidneys. The pain would then go
upwards and effect my body and head,
and seemed TO penetrate my very eve
balls, creating the most intense suffering
lasting about eight hours each spell
resorted to all kinds of medicine with>
out benefit. Several doctors treated my
case, but none gave relief. finally used
B. b. B. as an experiment, and TO my
utter astonishment all pain and suffering
vanished after using three doses. To
the present time have used three bottles
and not a pain has ever returned. | do
not know what was the matter, neither
could my physician name the complaint.
The B. B. B. acted finely and powerfully
upon my kidneys; my appetite has been
splendid and my constitution built up
rapidly. X. THOMAS,

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
lt Wrecks a Train and Emperil
the Lives of Those Or Board.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 19.-The baggage
car attached to the New York limited ex-
press, which arrived in this city at 1880
O'Clock last night, was almost blown to
pieces by dynamite or some other terrible
explosive, few miles east of Altoona,
Pa Baggagemaster Harry Mingus, who
was in the car at the time, was pretty
badly hurt. A trunk was put on the
train at Duncannon, near Harrisburg,
and was checked through to Pittsburg.
Mingus was arranging the trunks in the
car. He picked up a small ordinary trunk
and threw it on top of some other baggage.
An explosion followed which lifted the top
off the car as though it was made of paper,
and scattered fragments in all directions
The shock was terrible and startled the
engineer and trainmen. 1t also attracted
the attention OF the passengers, and when
it was found that the baggage car had been
almost blown to pieces the greatest excite
ment prevailed. The train was stopped
and the baggage transferred to another car.
Mingus was quite seriously in
jured, but will recover. A brake
man, who was in the car at the
time, escaped by being thrown behind a
stack of trunks. The damaged car was
side-tracked and the train then proceeded
OH its way. The Pennsylvania railroad
officials are determined to sift the matter to
the bottom. The owner of the trunk was
arrested when he presented his check for
his trunk at the baggage room this morning.
he said he was hungarian coal miner
and that his name was John Kagman. He
came from HaZleton in search of work and
strenuously denied that there was any ex-
plOsive in the trunk. 1t contained, he
claims, nothing but clothing and some
matches. Pending thorough inves tiga-
ton he will be detained.

Burned to Death.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2O.-Two women
were burned to death in their homes in the
backwoods region of st. Lonis county last
week, without exciting more than casual
reference from the Indifferent people of the
locality where the unfortunate victims
dwelt, and the facts of the casualties have
only just been learned. One victim was
the wife of an old trapper named Castener,
who lived in the Creve Occur bottoms.
The family Saturday left her alone in the
house, and while they were gone the house
caught fire. Mrs. Castener was helpless
paralytic, and when the family returned
they found the house in ashes and the poor
woman's body burned to crisp. The
other victim was colored girl, the daugh-
ter of Johnson Claiborne, who. with his
wife and six children, occupied hut near
Eureka. All of the family slept in single
room on the ground floor except the unfort-
unate girl, who occupied room in the loft.
the only entrance to which was through
trap door in the floor. On Saturday night
the house caught fire, and before she could
make her escape the entire structure was in
flames. Nothing was found of her remains
but few charred pieces of flesh and bones.

Atrocious Murders.

SANTA FE, n. NJ, Jan. 2O.-The report
that Jack McLane and Fred Aberdeen had
been murdered at a farmers ranch near
Hudson, in Grant county, was confirmed
to-day. A neighbor going to the ranch
found McLane lying dead on the ground
near the house with three bullet holes in
his body. Just inside the house Aberdeen's
corpse was found on the floor He had a
bullet hole in his head from which, blood
and brains had oozed. The bodies of both
men had been stripped of all valuables, in
cluding clothing, boots and weapons. The
murderers had also ransacked the house,
carrying off everything Of value. After
completing their work the thieves stole a
horse owned by McLane. and then went to
Indian Springs, where they gathered in six
more horses belonging to Mr.. Dane. The
excitement caused by the affair is intense
all through Grant county. The perpetra-
tors of the outrage are believed to be a part
of the same gang of Mexican thieves and
robbers who were concerned IN the killing
of Deputy Sheriff Hall some time ago. and
if they are caught they will certainly be
lynched.

Twenty Years im Stale Prison.

GREENFIELD. Mich, Jan. 2O.-A large
crowd entered the court house to-day when
George Hazard, colored, was arraigned for
attempting to outrage Sister Mary, sta
toned in the Catholic convent. The as
sault was dastardly one, and the mis-
creant got very nearly his just deserts,
twenty years in the pententiary. He will
be taken to Jackson during next week.
Sister Mary has been in the convent
for number of years and
is well known throughout the state
as a philanthropic and worthy woman.
Had Hazard been caught an hour after the
occurrence Judge Lynch would have at
tended to his case. 1t was a week ago
when Hazard entered the town. He went
straight to the convent but was barred from
the grounds by the watchman. When
night came on, however. he jumped a
fence and by a balcony managed to reach
the corridor. Sister Mary's room door
was open and when she saw
the fiend she tainted. He failed to accom-
piish his purpose. Sister Margaret leaped
from the window to the ground and
broke both her wrists. Both appeared
in court to-day and testified. Hazard had
lawyers, and an effort was made to prove
an alibl. 1t did not work. The court
upbraided the ruffian, and when sentence
was pronounced intimated that it was too
light. but that the statutes would not per-
init him to go further. However, he got

4 Magnificent Display of Fire.
Works at the StOrming Of the Ice
Palace.
At ten minutes past eight o'clock last
night it was dark in the park where the
Ice Palace stands, save the great ice
structure was illumined with colored lights.
and some thousands of uniformed men
stationed near the palace held torches that
tickered and smoked, and cast sickiy
looking light for small space around them.
For an hour and half every street and
walk leading toward the park from the
center of the city had been beaten with the
feet of an eager crowd that hurried toward
the ice castle to witness the warfare
between the king of the frozen region and
the monarch Of the realm of fire. The Wis
itorS i'll the city from far away points, the
large delegations from Minneapolis and
other neighboring cities and the residents
of the SANITY city, of all ages and classes,
on foot and in every kind Of vehicle, had
come to Central park and the points about
it from which the palace could be seen.
The ticket takers at the gateways to the
park had worked with frost numbed fingers
for over an hour. From every window
that commanded view of the glowing struc-
ture looked from three to a dozen pairs of
eyes. The palace grounds had been almost
blackened by little knots of visitors who
picked their way through the snow, among
the little evergreen trees that have been
planted there, and allowed their noses TO
CONCEAL. Good Judges said that 90, 600
people were looking at the palace and the
tiickering torches around it before the
storming began.

grown sharper in the evening. A bit of
wind blew steadily, driving the cold
through everything but fur, and fiuttering
the flags on the turrets Of the castle. There
was no moon, and the sky seemed
more black than blue, as poets
usually paint it on clear winter
nights, when the stars shine out clearly and
the air is frosty. When the clubs marched
through the gates there were movements of
the crowd toward their line of march. The
park was anything but quiet. The COM
manderS were shouting to the men under
them, a half dozen bands and drum corps
were screeching and rafting, and there
were constant cheers as the favorite clubs
appeared. The Indians in their tepees were
making considerable section of the park
echo with the monotonouS humping of
their alleged musical instruments and ac-
companyng yellS. If one looked away
from the palace it was dark and cold and
noisy. The forces of the two
contending kings had all come
within the grounds and been stationed
those of the Ice King close up to the palace,
outside instead of inside as last year, and
those of the Fire King, who were to begin
the assault, some rods away. 1t was ten
minutes past the time set for the storming
to begin. and everybody was waiting for the

men. Thomas Hogan, 16 years old, a
iooker-on, was shot and killed by one of
Pinkerton'S men. The boys were jeering
the Pinkerton men who were stationed in
the company's yards to protect property.
Occasionally they rained shower of snow
balls and other missiles upon the men near
by. A crowd of strikers and their
sympathizers were assembled, and
they lent encouragement to the boys
At length the leader of the Pinkerton men
stepped forward and ordered the EOys to
stop throwing missiles at them. The boys
did not obey and almost immediately three
sharp cracks of a revolver rang out and
Hogan fell dead. The
EXCITEMENT WAS INTENSE
and the lockers on fled in every direction.
The leader of the strikers, as soon as he
could get his men together ordered them
back to their headquarters. In anticipa-
ton of attack, the Pinkerton men were at
once drawn up in battle array. The jersey
City police reserve stationed at the yards
hurried to the scene. An ambulance was
summoned and the body of the dead boy
was removed to the morgue. Hogan was
not one of the party of boys throw
ing missiles at the men, but
stood on the opposite side
Of the street, and Inspector Lange mmedi-
ately collected number of witnesses of
the shooting and marched the Pinkerton
men out in line. He then ordered the wit
neSses to identify the men who shot. They
at once selected Patrick Sheehy, Daniel
Cahill and Samuel A. Neff from the line
and identified them as the

SNOWFALL. The ball that struck Hogan
pierced his brain directly above the right
eye.
